Crosby ATV crash leaves 2 people dead

Two people died after being crushed by an ATV at an off-roading park in Crosby on Saturday.

Four people were riding a Razor all-terrain vehicle around 7 p.m. at the Down South Offroad Park about a mile and a half west of F.M. 2100 on Old Beaumont Highway. As the ATV approached a steep embankment, it flipped backward, said Harris County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Thomas Gilliland.

Two of the people were able to jump off the vehicle in time, but the other two, a man and woman, were crushed underneath it, Gilliland said.

The man died at the scene. The woman died in an ambulance on the way to a hospital. Their identities were not released at this time.
